Read all the news, interviews and product announcements at http://search400.techtarget.com/specialEvents/1,289653,sid3_gci551610,00.html Stories from the show: [1] COMMON keynote: Time to spread the good word IBM is talking up a storm about how it's going to promote the hot new features of the iSeries and V5R1. And, while they're historically a skeptical group, users attending Spring COMMON last week in New Orleans appear to be more confident that IBM will finally be putting its money where its mouth is. http://search400.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid3_gci552425,00.html [2] iSeries user protect thyself iSeries administrators who think they can trust their users not to tamper with their company's data need a reality check. According to iSeries security expert Ken Graap, trust has nothing to do with it. Administrators who don't have a security policy in place are asking for trouble. http://search400.techtarget.com/qna/0,289202,sid3_gci552699,00.html [3] Storage vendors jockey for position It's not taking center stage yet, but storage is clearly a hot button among users attending the Spring COMMON conference held last week in New Orleans. The demand for storage is great among the midrange community, say vendors, and the ones exhibiting here are thrilled to be among the first to address the growing needs of the AS/400 user. http://search400.techtarget.com/specialEventsFeature/0,289649,sid3_gci551610_egc552416,00.html [4] IBM invests big in eLiza R&D for iSeries IBM is serious about its investment in making its iSeries server a system that can manage itself. Big Blue announced it will devote a fourth of its research and development eServer budget to building the next generation computer system. http://search400.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid3_gci552737,00.html [5] Sessions popular but exhibits not such a draw Many of the educational sessions during this year's Spring COMMON had standing room only. Their popularity, however, may have affected traffic on the exhibit floor, which vendors say was slow. http://search400.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid3_gci553334,00.htm WEBSPHERE STRATEGIES TIP The servlet: Backbone of WebSphere Application Server E-business expert Bob Cancilla looks under the cover of the WebSphere Application Server and shows you the importance of servlets. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci551125,00.html WORD OF THE WEEK Keep on top of the terms you should know about to get the most out of your iSeries 400.
